This report deals with Task 5 of the first phase of the Study - Alternative locations for a new storage facility for petrol and diesel. The work in this part of the Study includes a desk study combined with a field reconnaissance of the pre -selected sites. The issues considered include geological and hydrogeological conditions, transportation logistics, existing infrastructure, land use, environmental factors and safety. The desk study includes review of information already available in study reports, geotechnical information available at the Geological Surveys in Lobatse, environmental standards of Botswana etc. Cost estimates of each option are prepared in order to make a comparison of the sites. Thus, the optimum location for a strategic petroleum product storage may be identified. The report will reflect Norconsult's recommendation for the optimum location.
